Pulled Pork Sandwich with Homemade BBQ Sauce

Like most people, the whole reason I bought a slow cooker was to make delicious meals with very little effort. If you haven’t been using yours to make Pulled Pork, then you are missing out! You simply put in a thawed pork shoulder, add some BBQ sauce (in this case homemade) and onion and leave it alone for 5 hours. Pull the meat apart, let it sit for another hour and voila, dinner is serve! I have been doing this for years, but never with my own BBQ sauce. I decided it was time to step it up and I’m proud to say that I think I nailed it! I tried multiple attempts that included some big failures but came up with a real food recipe that my family of food critics enjoys!

Cooking the Pork

Directions
1. Place the thawed Pork Shoulder in the crockpot and pour in all of the BBQ sauce and chopped onion.
2. Turn Crock Pot on high for 5 hours.
3. Use two forks to ‘pull’ the pork apart. After the 5 hours your pork should pull apart with little effort. If this does not happen, cover for another 30minutes and try again. Pull the pork completely. If your shoulder came with a bone in it, take this time to remove the bone.
4. Cover and leave on high for 1 hour.
5. Serve and enjoy!
